All of us had to go by that rule, damn it. If he did [bet on baseball], then fess up and come clean and he would be accepted back.

Every manager reads Rule 21 [which prohibits betting on baseball] to every player.

He handled it like he always does, in the typical Pete Rose way -- like nothing happened.

[Selig] has got to stand up for the rule.

Hey, the first thing you see when you go into pro ball is Rule 21.

But I only know the player and manager, not the gambler. And it was all good. He came to the park ready to play and he had goals and he attained them.
